PP here. Your criticism is fair re: the numbers of HS versus club athletes, although I don't see that you accounted for the fact that a HS team includes athletes from up to 4 class years while the analysis was for a single class year. I used CHRVA 16s data from last season in calculating the total number since the number of athletes participating in club volleyball tends to peak at 15s or 16s and there are a decent number of commitments from that class year to analyze.

Fair point.  I should have done the math dividing by 4 to get a better approximation.  I'm also pretty sure the number of HS players is low, because the region has more HS than I thought.  For public schools its 220 in MD, 20 in DC, ~150-200 in northern VA, ~60 in Delaware = ~500 public schools alone.  Here's some updated numbers, just for public schools:

500 schools x 2 teams x 14 players=14,000 players / 4 classes = 3,500 seniors.

Play in NCAA 3500 x 3.9% = 137
Play in D1 3500 x 1.2% = 42

So somewhere between 120-140 NCAA players and 35-40 D1 players is probably close for public schools.  Add in private schools and its probably much higher.
